In other book chain news, Borders is jumping on the “temporary store” trend, announcing this morning that they will open and run 25 “pop-up” Borders Express stores from between October 25 and January 31. The stores will average about 2,500 square feet. CEO Mike Edwards says, “The majority of these stores are located in malls where we had a presence at one time. Where it didn’t make business sense for us to operate stores on a permanent basis in these areas, we can open a seasonal store and serve the holiday shopping needs of our customers.”Release
